Grimmway Farms is recalling several bags of organic carrots from various brands due to potential contamination with E. coli bacteria.
This recall stems from a similar action taken in another country. No cases of illness related to the consumption of these products have been reported in Canada.
The affected products include carrots from the brands Bunny-Luv, Cal-Organic, Compliments Organic, and PC Organics. These carrots were intended for the general public as well as certain hotels, restaurants, and institutions.
For more details on the specific products involved, visit the website of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
The CFIA is currently conducting a food safety investigation, which could lead to additional recalls.
About E. coli
Foods contaminated with E. coli O121 may not show visible spoilage or have a suspicious odor but can still cause illness.
Possible symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps (mild to severe), and watery or bloody diarrhea.
In severe cases, individuals may experience seizures or strokes, require blood transfusions or dialysis, or suffer permanent kidney damage. In some cases, the illness can be fatal.
Recommendations
Recalled products should not be consumed. Instead, they should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
If someone believes they have become ill after consuming one of the affected products, they should contact their healthcare provider. (C.P./IJL)
